STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:

The Akron Beacon Journal says to maintain proper form, he Super Glued his hand into a clenched fist. Yes! A video crew recorded this feat, and sent it to the Guinness World Record people. If they do not accept the record, we hesitate to think what gesture Mr. Peterson will try next.

It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
